If you're looking to incorporate some Korean flavors into your cooking, Korean Gochujang Sauce is a good place to start.
For those unfamiliar, Gochujang is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment that's a staple of Korean cooking. Trader Joe’s Korean Gochujang Sauce takes this classic condiment and turns it into a versatile sauce that can be paired with everything from bulgogi to buffalo wings. The new sauce starts with Trader Joe’s own brand of Gochujang, and then kicks it up a notch with a bit of canola oil, soy sauce, brown rice vinegar, and sesame oil. As the brand puts it, "Complex, flavorful, and conveniently drizzle-able, our Korean Gochujang Sauce makes a great topper for everything from French fries, to fried rice, to Korean Rice Cakes."
